paid his taxes without making u noise

BABY ClTCHlNG HORSES.

An eccentric friend of mine at the
club who has knack of picking up
stray truths that get lost under other
peoples feet, tells me that infants are
animals much more mysterious and
capable" than is generally supposed.
There is, he declares, q great deal OF
magnetism or fascinating power in a
baby, to which all dumb creatures are
very susceptible. He is personally
acquainted with one infant in continual
use by its male parent as o kind OF a
horse-tamer. Whenever the father de-
sires to catch particular houyhnhym
which becomes very wild when let loose
in the pastor the baby in its carriage is
brou ght out, and his four footed friend
comes up, pokes his nose in the baby
lap. and is quietly secured. The infant
IS thus able to do with ease the work
that six men struggling for an hour
nave often failed to accom- plish. The
principle might be extended, my friend
thinks to wild animals. -Boston P0st.

lMEHiCyN TOOLS .4HnOaD.

Our American contemporaries have
every cause to be surprised at the as
tonishing fact that thousands of tons Of
scrap-iron are every year taken to the
United States and there converted into
the simplest of American manufactures,
the sad or laundry iron, and then ex-
ported back to Europe at no small
profit. There is no one corner of
Europe where American small cast
hardware is not on sale. The tool
makers and the machinists OF Europe
such as krupp, Of Germany; Whit
worth Il Armstrong, of London; and
Hotchkiss, OF France, with their vast
resources-are unable to produce a
monkey or a screw wrench equal to
the American wrenches, and conse-
quently they have to import these tools
| from the States. 1t is stated that there
are no less than $4,000 dozen of them
exported to Europe alone every year.
| 1t is interesting to note that Charles
Moncky, the inventor of this screw-bar
wrench, received only $1,000 for his
patent and is now living at Williams
burg, Brooklyn, in q small cottage
bought from the proceeds Of this sale.
IN the matter OF the common pocket
lockwood rules, also, the American
manufacturers so far excel all Others
that, if not all European nations, GER
tainly all nations outside OF Europe are
supplied from America The manu-
facturers there print on the rule what
ever system of measurement is followed
by the country for which the goods art
intended. American augers and anger
bits are used the world over, no other
nation being able to compete. The
Americans, with such facts before
them, may we'll be proud OF theil
manufactures. London IRON.
